As we watched your officers kettle innocent women, we observed you violently pepper spray wildly into the group of kettled women. We were shocked and disgusted by your behavior. You know who the innocent women were, now they will have the chance to know who you are. Before you commit atrocities against innocent people, think twice. WE ARE WATCHING!!! Expect Us!

Details of senior New York police officer released online as protesters call for disciplinary action to be opened.

Anonymous has identified NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna as the man seen pepper-spraying two women unprovoked at the Occupy Wall Street protest over the weekend, but they're not just leaving it at that. The Internet vigilantes, using photographic evidence of Bologna on the scene and a close-up of his badge, wasted no time in putting together a file on the officer, including a possible phone number, addresses, and the names of his family members, warning ominously, "Before you commit atrocities against innocent people, think twice. WE ARE WATCHING!!! Expect Us!"

Occupy Wall Street spokesman Patrick Bruner told us today that he was made aware of Bologna's identity last night, but opted not to release it. "We hadn't yet come to a consensus on how to approach the situation, which we saw as potentially volatile," Bruner said. "To bring his family and his home into it is something I find personally unacceptable." But make no mistake: Bologna's actions were "demonic," Bruner stressed, and now that the officer's name is known, Occupy Wall Street is demanding the city take action.

Bruner said the protesters were considering organizing a citizen's arrest of Officer Bologna, but maintained that the group remains committed to nonviolence, even in the face of this "graphic" abuse of power. To counter the NYPD claim that the video was misleadingly edited, Occupy Wall Street has posted three different versions of the events, along with the following message:

We demand that he is charged for his crimes. We demand that he receives jail time.

We demand that Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly resigns. Not only can he not control his most senior officers, he is involved in actively sheltering them from receiving any punishment.

We demand that Mayor Michael Bloomberg address our General Assembly and apologize for the police brutality and the cover-up that followed.

One protester who was hit by some of the spray writes today that, as she struggled to rinse her eyes, she heard another NYPD officer, a "blue-shirt," remark in disbelief, "I can't believe he just fucking maced her."

Chelsea Elliott, a 25-year-old protester hit directly by the spray, tells her side here and on video here. (A 2001 report dug up by the intelligence blog Cyptome called Lieutenant Bologna "notorious for his previous treatment of protestors.")

In May of last year, Bologna was moved as the commanding officer of lower Manhattan's first precinct and reassigned to the Patrol Borough Manhattan South. "You do what they give you and you do your best," Bologna said at the time. "I'm looking forward to new challenges."

From Anonymous, details of a Civil Rights case namingBologna from 2007.

It's worth repeating, but the point Hedges makes is that there are this many cops(!?) out in force because of a small, NON-VIOLENT protest. Not only that, but this show of force was preemptive -- the demonstrators weren't even allowed to walk on parts of Wall St. itself. Bizarre.

Dr. P...no doubt the police presence and behavior has been over the top. In fact, it is because of the police behavior that the protests have garnered the attention of the corporate media. Bloomberg and Ray Kelley are playing this one the wrong way.

Corporate Mercenary Anthony Bologna should be maced, thrown to the ground and dragged away, and perhaps waterboarded so we can know upon whose instructions he was acting upon, if any, and what the police plan was for this demonstrations, as it sure seems "pre-meditated". ..When an officer of the law becomes so full of himself and the us against them mentality, "Officer Down" sounds like the right thing to do....in the right way.....I hope there is a trial, and he is fired, stripped of his pensions and faces a long time in jail and the maximum in civil penalties.. Seems pretty likely, his family, if he has any, would be better off without him. If I were computer savvy, I would have hit the delete buttons on him already!! Maybe there should be a little action on the authoritarian scumbags who were doing the corralling also!

This mace spray situation sent my mind back to xmas 1987, UVa Bowl Game vs.? (BYU, I think) in Birmingham when a certain, future Atlanta lawyer maced the opposing fan sitting behind him and then escaped by hopping fences and ripping open his hand.

If I were a betting man--and I am whenever possible--I would wager that the guy who got maced now frets that bankers may be getting a bit of a bad rap. Hell, I bet the macee is a fucking bankster. He clearly had it coming.

(Yes, BYU took the loss. Gritty, gutty Scott Secules led the plucky Cavaliers to victory and an all time record of 2-0-0 in Bowl Games.)

The American general ethos is humbled, due to confusion produced through the bombardment of false and conflicting propaganda with government and private education inadequate at addressing this issue. The people aren't so much stupid as duped. And it is getting millions killed and injured due to the comfort provided by indoctrinating inadequacy and T&A programming by the CFR. Kill your television. Free yourselves from the CFR. Cut the cord and feel the freedom. Be yourselves!

I know that they say that posting family names and home address was going over the line. I dont believe that for a second. These goons(not all police are bad) get away with a lot of civil rights abuses, not to mention law breaking. if this is the only way to have them suffer ANY consequence at all, then I am for it. Whenever the average Joe violates any of the tens of thousands of statutes...............Johny law is there to fine the living hell out of him. Thats a deterrent. What anonymous is doing......might actually be a deterrent for rouge police. It is obvious that no government, on any level, is going to reign in the stormtroopers. So maybe this method will put in check, those that would violate our Constitutional Rights.

The city will give this douche bag a medal before it is over, I bet his momma is proud of the man he has become. And the disbelieving cop is a wimp for not arresting him for assault he committed. Just one more example of how cops will stick together while one of them commits a crime...

It was just 2 years ago now, when the "Tea Party" had rallies and the goverment sent out the Whole Shitin CaBootle.......If there was 500 of us thAre was 1,500 of them in Full Riot Gear.

What did they find...............Moms, Dads, Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles, waving American Flags..........WTF...?

aS IF ANYONE OF THEM WOULD OF TOOK THE FIRST SWING.......Like obama, its just a fuckkkkking Ego Trip..........

Plus......: I know that they say that posting family names and home address was going over the line. I dont believe that for a second.

Well I do My Friend......Unless the wife and kids were on the street adding to the Abuse, leave them out of it, Please..........Now your talkin like a Fuckking Union Democrat................My God, dont Join them..........

I feel your Pain, you have no idea how Dar feels the pain, but Please leave the family out of this. Having his address is a good thing thoe. It gives you a place to start from when he starts his day.

But "Pull Him" on the job. & you know he will get a weeks time off this year for this. Justice is going back to 1812 and the main street, ( Mat Dillion) or the Oak Tree, in the city square...........?

Just to be clear, reader "randall" posted the stuff about naming family members. But you've got Pitchfork up at the top of your post. That wasn't me. And I certainly wouldn't advocate doing that. But then, I'm not losing any sleep over it, either. Getting a nasty phone call is far better than having a JDAM dialed in on your house in the middle of the night -- which is something that happens if you happen to live in the wrong part of the world. But I agree with you.

Yup Anon, that's real smart to publish the names of his relatives, who didn't have anything to do with the asshole's actions, and make them hate targets as well. I thought you opposed committing atrocities against innocent people?

He is likely nearing retirement, and all effort should be taken to inhibit his ability to retire to his pension to get out of his actions. Are there any federally minded attorneys who can research whether his actions violated any Federal laws?
